Spurious testsuite failures

[Andreas Schwab]

I'm getting several failures in the automake testsuite, for example:

FAIL: libtool.test (exit: 1)

The problem is that /usr/share/aclocal/dirlist contains the
(non-existing) directory /usr/local/share/aclocal.  Normally aclocal
would ignore such a directory, but by adding it explicitly with -I
aclocal now complains.
